tanium benchmark UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.7.0 and < 2.7.98 · >= 2.9.0 and < 2.9.188 · >= 2.12.0 and < 2.12.82

Fixed in: 2.7.98, 2.9.188, 2.12.82

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.7.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy benchmark || rpm -q benchmark || benchmark --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.7.98 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade benchmark

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade benchmark

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 2.7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison benchmark sudo apt install benchmark=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.7.0> sudo apt-mark hold benchmark

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list benchmark sudo dnf downgrade benchmark-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.7.0> sudo dnf versionlock add benchmark

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
